NaNoWriMo!

It's November 1st! That means it's the start of NaNoWri Mo! That is, November is the National Novel Writing Month!

Sounds exciting, no? It's a personal challenge to write a novel, 50,000 words, in a months time. If you think your novel is worthwhile, you can even submit it to the NaNoWriMo website's competition. However, I think it's enough of a challenge to get that much writing out in a month, let alone to have it edited enough to submit to a contest. 0_o Ugh. Editing is to valuable to be ignored. In my opinion, editing is what truly makes a book. Not simply getting an amount of words out.

Still, I would love to take on this challenge. Too bad I never have enough time to participate in it. *sigh* Maybe someday, some year. I always say "next year" and it just doesn't happen. November is a busy month for college students. Perhaps I should try it during the summer months when I might be less busy.
